I like to be in America!
O.K. by me in America!
Everything free
in America
For a small fee
in Americ....a!
Buying on credit
is so nice
One look at us
and they charge twice
I'll have my own
washing machine
What will you have
though to keep clean?
Skyscrapers bloom
in America
Cadillacs zoom
in America
Industry boom
in America
Twelve in a room
in Americ...a
Lots of new housing
with more space
Lots of doors slamming
in our face
I'll get a terrace
apartment
Better get rid of
your accent
Life can be bright
in America
If you can fight
in America
Life is alright
in America
If you're all white
in Americ...a
La la-la la-la
America
America
La la-la la-la
America
America
Here you are free
and you have pride
Long as you stay
on your own side
Free to be anything
you choose
Free to wait tables
and shine shoes
Everywhere grime
in America
organised crime
in America
Terrible time
in America
You forget I'm
in America!
La la-la la-la
America
America
La la-la la-la
America
America
I think I'll go back
to San Juan
I know a boat
you can get on!
Bye bye!
Ah ah everyone there
will give big cheer
Everyone there
will have moved here
